I think the author's criticisms are fair. I would not use the beta with passengers in the car unless they asked. It is too jerky and unpredictable. It's definitely fun to use and I'm enjoying testing it, but it has a ways to go. That said, the fact that this system works anywhere where competing systems are fenced to some degree (Waymo to Chandler/Phoenix, SuperCruise to highways it has mapped) has to be given more merit, though. Tesla is focused on the general solution instead of a super smooth, but very geographically-restricted solution, which (I would imagine) doesn't scale.
